If you have a nice system why do you really need room treatments?

Yeah you may need an absorption panel if your room is completely open, ie. No rug or furniture, ie just lonely single chair. But if your system can't cut it in any room then it's a system problem and you should be able to discern a good system regardless of the room.  Unless you put it on the roof of your apartment building but the Beatles seemed to have survived that effort

I think people go nuts with all this absorption acoustical room treatment stuff and it looks kind of awful.  Once in a while you see a really cool looking diffuser panel and I would definitely want one. But to have a system that works really well without any of the acoustical panel distractions is a wonderful thing.

Something is really off with OP comments. He has started 225 posts, and has had 897 replies, in the past 3 1/2 years. Somehow conveying details of his superior system and the room it is in is somehow problematic? Hmmmm…. 

further, only a month ago he made this comment on a different post:

“Would you spend $250,000 for equipment in a room that just may not work out because of the way it's designed??  That room is gonna be an acoustical challenge it may never work out”. 

According to his logic, couldn’t you simply throw money into a system and magically make these “acoustic challenges “ disappear “?

Oh yes. Put your stereo at any price into an untreated gym and play it really loud. If you enjoy it that way, more power to you.

Absolutely--I am sure it would be much more satisfying to  sit in the gym you had treated to the hilt and listen to no system at all.

"nice" is not the same as "all it can be"

If you have a dedicated room, it need not look ugly.
I find great auditory and visual pleasure in my space. As I leave the reflective spaces in the rest of my house and enter my room, it is an "Ahhh" moment.

@timkeough1964 sums it up well.

It is not insensitive or unfairly treating someone with a disability to expect the same conduct as that of anyone else on this forum.  The OP has been asked repeatedly to describe his system.  A reasonable request, yet no response.  There is too much history of this OP starting a thread with a particular premise, then arguing both sides either in the same thread or another different thread.  

Too much evidence of no meaningful contribution by the OP, only stirring the pot until everyone finally realizes there is nothing new of value being offered.  OP contributions are pretty much, "Yeah, but . . ., Yeah, but . . . , Yeah, but . . .".
